sadly, there are many possible causes. viruses, bacteria, heavy metal exposure (mercury, lead), radiation, chemotherapy, even vitamin deficiencies, injuries and other autoimmune diseases aside from MS.

I hope you find answers and resolution.

I was thought to have gotten MS, and was diagnosed with probable MS, years ago! The Docs attributed what looked like mild demyelination, to my long time exposure to breathing in heavy metals dust & silica, from working years in a grey iron foundry!
